What Is Sin?

Sin happens when we disobey one of God's Law most especially The Ten Commandments, when we break these Law's we have made God very unhappy with us.

It is never good to do wrong but it makes things worse if we are being deliberately unkind and disobedient. When we mean to hurt or harm someone then that is a bad sin and when this occurs you need to go to Confession as soon as possible.

Sin is a bad thing as it harms your own heart and makes God upset with each of us especially if it is deliberate. We can make God upset with us if we are disobedient or rude to our parents, teachers and friends, for we have ignored His Commandments.

We can also sin by joining in when others are being mean to each other, this makes Jesus very sad when we do this.

All sins that we commit breaks our friendship with God so this is why we have the Sacrament of Penance so that through gaining Absolution, we are once again God's friends.

We must at all times be very sorry for offending God and making Him upset and sad with us, for Jesus teaches us to love one another and to love God. This is why we must to go to Confession and try not to offend God again, we can do this by also practicing Penance.
